What about people of European decent hanging Italian, Irish, French, and German flags on their homes? What about Italian owned restaurants were the owners and workers speak Italian? No one ever bats an eye at that. But if it is a Mexican flag people get all up in arms about it. I wonder why?
It could be because that the people hanging the Mexican flags out number all the people hanging flags from European combined and the fact that we are seeing lots of illegals coming from Mexico.
You can still remember your roots without waving your flag in everyones face. I live in Orlando, home of the largest Puerto Rican community outside of NYC. And I sometimes go to this heavily Puerto Rican neighborhood that my friend lives in and for years there's been this house with the Puerto Rican flag flying underneath a larger American flag, I don't mind that because it's showing respect for America first. But recently I saw a home with just a PR flag flying. It really pisses me off when I see it, I feel like going there in the middle of the night and stealing it lol. Or maybe leave them a note telling them to fix it.
Yea you should steal their property because you don't like them using their rights under the COTUS. Make sure you leave a note with your address on it, or better yet do it in the daytime instead.
Am I the only one who gets sick of people moving here from other countrys and waving their home flags in our face and we aren't susposed to say anything about it, I can say that if the hispanic population would stop acting like they are still in Mexico and start taking pride in where they are at and wave an American flag or two more people would think that they actually wanted to be a citizen of this country and maybe try and help them become one, The same goes for Puerto Ricans waving their flags from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, not a country, if you've ever been to Miami then you'll know what i'm talking about, I'm not prejudice or anything and have no problem with any race, but when you come to America you show her some respect, it seems like talking about your old girlfriend to your new girlfriend all the time and after a while she gets tried of it, When in America act like you're in America, we don't care what country you came from as long as you are productive and helpful in this country and not a criminal.
So if you went to work in another country for a few years, you would never, ever display an American flag out of respect for that country?

I can think of about 20 houses off the top of my head that have flown only the NEW MEXICAN flag without the American flag. Including my own. A neighbor has Canadian flags, as they're Canadian. Yet another house had the British Naval Ensign flag up. Is this really an issue? I'm a New Mexican, why should I not be allowed to fly an American flag? It's the same as a Puerto Rican flag, after all. I feel that a flag can be representative of a person, as well as a political entity.
You do realize that flying the Puerto Rican flag is no different than a Texan flying the Texas flag on his property? I don't know about you but I find that people waving their state/territorial flag around to me, is a sign that they are big on states' rights and recognize that the states are co-sovereign to the federal government. Waving the Puerto Rican flag around is MUCH MUCH different than waving a foreign flag around, of which the Puerto Rican flag is NOT. We are American citizens too we're not foreigners.
Glad you said it. Puerto Rico is America too, even if under represented because it's not an official state.
Illegal immigrants grandstanding with their own flags... why aren't we rounding them up since they sorted themselves out so nicely on main street?
If Puerto Ricans want to fly their flag, great for them, hell we stole their country. Same goes for Hawaiians. Same goes for Mexicans in the Southwest, which by any standard of morality known to civilized men ought to belong to the Mexicans in the first place. (I'd be laughing my ass off if they took over the Southwest and started deporting the 'illegal' whites.) Same goes for a lot of the Native Americans, although many parts of the Plains and the East were settled by fair and reasonable treaties, not war.
